So we are at the juding break.
Madeleine Witte-Vrees & Cennin - One spook right at the start, but quite good. Leader with 79%
Kristy Oatley & Du Soleil - Very cool performance. Also one bigger spook... Arena is very atmospheric today in Omaha. Second so far with 75%
Steffen Peters & Rosamunde - So many mistakes. To be honest, Rosamunde is a very new horse, but at the moment she is more weird than good. Third so far with 75%
Mai Tofte Olesen & Rustique - My personal favourite so far. She added A LOT of difficulty to her freestyle, and it worked perfectly! Personal best score of 74%
She was very emotional, hugging her son as she finished the ride. And rightly so, she worked really hard to be here. This is from her FEI profile...
Marcela Krinke-Susmelj & Smeyers Molberg - Just not their day. She changed her freestyle in the middle of the test. 74%
Maria Florencia Manfredi & Bandurria Kacero - She is having a blast here in Omaha. "It's a week of my life." 70%
Joao Victor Oliva & Xama dos Pinhais - Several mistakes. 70%
